Historical Character for Your Garden Design

These gritstone steps from a Buckinghamshire bridge offer an incredible blend of Victorian engineering and timeless rustic character. Originally crafted in 1850 for the Buckinghamshire Railway along Furze Lane near Winslow, these stones initially served as sturdy wall copings. Recently, engineers dismantled the bridge for the new East West rail line. Consequently, Watling Reclamation now have these magnificent pieces of salvaged history for future use.
